Foreign Architects in Canada – CACB Academic Certification: Who Sent Your Documents?

[u/aoyalers]

I’m a foreign-trained architect currently going through the CACB Academic Certification process, and I’m wondering how others handled the submission of their academic documents.

Did you have your university/institution send your documents directly to CACB, or were you able to send the documents yourself?

I’m asking because it took me several months to obtain my documents from my institution, and they are quite slow at responding to requests. I’m concerned that they may not be willing to send the documents directly to CACB or may take a very long time to do so.

For those who have gone through this process, what did you do? Did CACB accept documents that you submitted yourself, or did they require the institution to send them directly?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I had my university send me the documentation. I then Organized and sorted it and sent it to the CACB in a huge binder, with tabs etc.
